NCsoft's Auto Assault Hits Highway with New Content

Third Free Update Since Launch Features New Challenges, New Bosses and Insanely Cool Weapon Sets

Dec. 4, 2006NCsoft(R) has announced the release of another free update toAuto Assault(R) in both North America and Europe. Players will enjoynew instances, enhancements to the outpost token system and skills,two new weapon sets, and a few new bosses to test their mettle.

Developed by NetDevil(R), LTD, Auto Assault is the first massivelymultiplayer online (MMO) role-playing game set in a post-apocalyptic worldfeaturing vehicle combat on an epic scale and fully destructibleenvironments. The game is the first MMO to utilize physics as a mainfeature and allows players to smash through, burn, or demolishvirtually everything in the online world.

The ultimate challenge in this newest update involves two bosses,Momma Bite and The Tower, a boss that the highest level players willhave a hard time bringing down on their own. However, the benefits oftaking out these bosses are many: Momma Bite can drop some prettyunique loot, and players who can beat The Tower will have a chance toget items from a brand new set of weapons and equipment, some of themost powerful yet seen in the game.

There is plenty of fun for mid-level players as well, with threenew instances and two other bosses to beat, Pike Kingpin and Mammon.Each race will enjoy a new area to explore: Scav Uprising (Human), TheTemple of La Leche Madre (Mutant), and The Malachite Detention Center(Biomek).

In addition to all of this great new content, the team hasannounced enhancements to the outpost token system where players willbe able to receive tokens for both holding outposts for their race andfor player-versus-player kills. Players can use their tokens topurchase items from the brand new Warmonger weapon set, only availableto the best of the best!

Auto Assault is available at retailers in North America and Europeas well as at the NCsoft online store at http://www.plaync.com. The gameincludes the first month of online game play. After the first month,players will be charged a monthly subscription fee of US$14.99.

Yes, people absolutely pay monthly fees for WoW (world of warcraft). Millions of them. Literally. Honest to god Doctors have called it an addiction (commonly known as world of warCrack).

This game, uhm...not so much. It was cool for maybe a month, perhaps a bit less. My buddy's subscription expired and was not renewed. Repetition and lack of players are to blame. Fun back lacks depth right now.

Maybe this update will help. WoW didn't take off until recently and it's been out well over a decade (in multiple forms).
